C-65.1 - Act respecting contracting by public bodies
Section 21.48.24
Disposition versions
Not in force
21.48.24. A debtor is required to pay, within the time determined by government regulation, any sum of money payment of which has been claimed by means of a valid request for payment and which the debtor has not refused to pay in accordance with section 21.48.23. Such a payment obligation is binding on the debtor even if the debtor has not claimed payment of the sum from the debtor’s own debtor.
Despite the first paragraph, a debtor may, in the cases and on the terms and conditions determined by government regulation, make a withholding or deduction from a sum of money payable.
The mere lapse of the time determined under the first paragraph has the effect of causing the debtor concerned to be in default of payment.
